Grading / Evaluation
Grades will be based on performance on California ELA standards and learning targets. There will be multiple opportunities to prove learning occurred. The practice for the learning will not be included in the grade but is essential for success. Although formative assessment scores will not be included in the grade book, the assessments will be graded in a timely manner so that students receive the necessary feedback. Student grades are made up of 4 categories:
  • Reading Standards: 35%
    • Reading Notes/Assignments
    • Reading Tests
  • Writing Standards: 35%
    • Writing Notes/Assignments
    • Writing Tests
  • Speaking Standards: 15%
    • Participating in speaking activities.
  • Language Standards: 15%
    • Daily notes
    • Participating in Student Centered Learning Environments

Assignments
  • Students must complete all assignments. This includes class work as well as homework.
  • Late assignments will be accepted for full credit. However, in order to turn in a late assignment students must first spend 30 minutes in the classroom, or in Night Library. If students do not want to spend their time this way then they should simply turn in work on time!
  • Students must make up missed/failed tests.
  • Reminder PowerPoint: ConductLateWorkReminder.ppt
Conduct
  • All El Cajon Valley High School rules apply.
  • Be on time. This means be in your seat and ready to work when the bell rings.
  • Bring materials: textbooks, notebook, paper, pencil, and pen.
  • No gum, food, or beverages. Bottled water is allowed.
  • Contribute to a positive classroom environment.
  • Failure to follow the rules may result in detention, phone calls to parents, referrals, and a lower conduct grade.
